Two issues:

1) Typo - "this code in unnecessary" should be "this code is"

2) The help file says "It is used to implement verification", and then 2 lines
later it says "this code is unnesessary for verification". So is it implementing
it, or not needed for it? (I suspect it's a bad cut-n-paste from the
previous section, and needs 2 lines deleted, to look like this:

+ help
+ Multiprecision maths library from GnuPG.
+ This code in unnecessary for RSA digital signature verification,
+ and can be compiled if needed.
